Five steps to a garden you can plant.
You don't need to know how to design a garden, or the name of a single plant. If you can take a photo, our garden designer does the rest, turning the garden you already have into one you'll love.
Make your design choice
Bring a single border to life, or reimagine your entire garden.
Add your photo
One photo from your phone is all it takes.
Pick your style
Cottage, shady, Mediterranean or pollinator, in a colour scheme you love, or just describe the look you want. Or pick from over 200 expert-made designs.

Your actual garden, photorealistic, in about two minutes. Love it, or generate another.
Get your professional planting plan
Every plant named, how many to buy, where each goes, and a month-by-month flowering calendar.
From a border refresh to a whole new garden.
Whether you want to refresh a few tired borders or completely reimagine the whole space, a small courtyard or a big back garden, you're in the right place. A garden designer would charge £1,000 or more for a design like this. Here, every design is a photorealistic picture of your actual garden, and your first one is free.

The garden you see is the garden you can plant.
Most garden apps give you a lovely picture full of plants you could never actually find. Ours works the other way round. Every design is a photorealistic redesign of your real garden, and your professional planting plan is matched to the exact picture in front of you, so the garden you fall for is the one you plant.
It keeps your garden
Your fences, paths and established trees and shrubs stay right where they are. Our garden designer works into your real space, not over the top of it.
A plan for the exact design
Your professional planting plan names every plant, how many to buy and where each one goes, all matched to the design you chose.
Only real, buyable plants
Common garden-centre favourites and proven RHS Award of Garden Merit winners, chosen by a professional gardener. Nothing you can't source.
Pick a feeling. We'll plant it.
Short on garden design ideas? Pick a style you love and we'll build it from a palette of real UK plants chosen for your light and soil, then bring it to life on your own photo. Or start from over 200 ready-made designs, with around 30 for cottage gardens alone.
Style previews are illustrative – the real magic is your chosen palette applied to your own garden.

Everything people ask before their first design.
What is Garden Design App?
Garden Design App is an online tool that turns a photo of your garden into a photorealistic redesign, and then into a real planting plan. You upload a photo, choose a style, and get back an image of your garden replanted. When you love a design, the planting plan names every UK plant, how many to buy and where each goes, so you can actually create it.
How does the AI garden design work?
Upload a photo of your garden or a single border, and tell us what you'd like: refresh your borders, keeping your garden's shape, or redesign the whole space with new layout, paths and planting. Pick a style, and we generate a photorealistic redesign of your actual garden. When you love one, unlock its planting plan – every plant, how many to buy, and where each goes.
Are the plants real – can I actually buy and plant them?
Yes. Every design can become a planting plan of real, available UK plants, with quantities, each plant's mature height and spread, where it goes and a month-by-month flowering guide. The plans are built on real horticultural data and shaped by a professional gardener – not generic AI guesses – so the garden in the picture is a garden you can genuinely plant.
What garden styles can I choose from?
Four to start: cottage, shady (including dry shade under trees), drought-tolerant Mediterranean, and pollinator and wildlife. You can also describe the look you're after in your own words – say, something low-maintenance – and the design follows your brief.
Do I need a special photo or camera?
No – a normal phone photo is perfect. Photograph your whole garden if it's small and simple, or one border at a time for larger or more complex gardens, where each bed has its own light and soil.
Why does my redesign look like high summer?
We render your garden at its peak, in full flower, so you can see how lush and full it can look. It's an artist's impression, and your real garden will change through the seasons. The planting plan that comes with it includes a month-by-month flowering calendar and plants chosen for year-round interest, so there's colour and structure well beyond the summer picture.
Is the first design really free, and what does it cost after?
Your first design is genuinely free, with no card required. After that, subscriptions start at £19 a month. The professional planting plan is a separate one-off you only buy if you want to make a design real.
What do the subscription plans include?
Every plan gives you a set number of garden designs each month at a chosen image quality. Starter is £19 a month for 20 designs, Pro is £29 a month for 50 designs at higher resolution, and Ultra is £49 a month for 100 designs at our highest print-quality resolution. The one-off professional planting plan (£39) can be added to any design on any plan.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, any time from your dashboard. Move up a tier and your larger design allowance is there straight away. Move down and the smaller allowance applies; any designs you've already used this month still count, and everything refreshes on your next monthly billing date. There's no lock-in and no cancellation fee.
What happens if I use up my designs before the month is out?
You've got two options: upgrade to a higher tier for a larger monthly allowance, or wait for your designs to refresh at the start of your next monthly billing period. Your saved designs and any planting plans you've bought always stay available, whether or not you have designs left.
How do I cancel, and what happens to my access?
You can cancel any time, in a couple of clicks: go to your dashboard, click 'Manage plan', and on the billing page that opens click 'Cancel plan' and confirm. You keep full access to your remaining designs until the end of the period you've already paid for, and you won't be charged again after that. Any planting plans you've already bought are yours to keep and stay on your dashboard.
Do you offer refunds?
Because each design and planting plan is generated for you on demand, the work is done and the cost incurred the moment you create it, so purchases aren't refundable. You can always cancel a subscription any time to avoid future charges, and your first design is free so you can see exactly what you're getting before you pay.
Where do I find my planting plan and PDF?
As soon as you buy a planting plan we email it to you, with the plan attached as a PDF and a link to view it online. You can also open it any time from your dashboard, where it's saved against that garden. If it's not in your inbox, give it a minute and check your spam folder.
Who's behind it?
It's built by Josh Hellicar, a professional gardener, combining real horticultural knowledge with AI image generation. The aim is simple: garden design that looks beautiful and is genuinely plantable – something the generic AI tools don't do.
